I have been thinking the same thing. Very much yesterday's man. There is a kind of end of term feeling about this season already. I think the players have been playing as if there was since he said he was leaving.

How with all the big changes being broadcast by the club and IL as such a positive new beginning, he and the players can be motivated for the S8's and semi final under the "old regime" is a big question. Although probably not meant to be Lam's comments about playing with a smile in the press conference are an implicit criticism of how the team plays now.

If anyone missed the press conference and wants to see it, here it is on YouTube:

Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured. Rugby League players spend 80 minutes pretending they're not.

Edwards funny and relaxed,not often you hear someone called love in those situations but more power to him for it,ask a nosy question get short shrift answer.

Lam was the one for me,I’d say he fancied another year or two on his deal..I wonder if he will stay on especially if it goes well.

Lenagan does seem obsessed with forums,so hi here Ian if you read this..

Is it a risk,of course it is ALL new appointees are,will it work I truly hope so I really do.

But above all else the one word I enjoyed came from mr Lam...

Attack..with that I was sold.
where can we see it Fozzie.?

For those of you with Wigan t.v. don't miss the individual interviews with Edwards and Lam, very enlightening.
Anyone who interviews Shaun Edwards needs to be really sharp otherwise he'll tear them apart. :D

Enjoyed a brilliant few hours this morning & early afternoon at the press conference with Adrian Lam & Shaun Edwards.

Thank you to Mr Lenegan & Kris Radlinski.

I would also like to thank them both for bringing two of the best ever half backs ever to play for Wigan, back to coach our great club ???? ????????⚪️

Thanks for that.
It’s good to know they’ve noticed and acknowledged that the rugby we play is abit dull and there gonna change it, as it’s having an effect on the crowds.
Risk or not, it’s the most excited ive been for a while for Wigan rugby.
Hopefully they will bring success but a change of how we play is the big thing for me, as the last 3 or 4 years of watching have been hard at times.

A thought about all this and George Williams:

Some have been disappointed at George's progress since signing his marquee deal. There's also talk of him going to the NRL. What must he be thinking now?

In the next 2 years (if he stays), he'll have the chance to work with 2 great half-backs who will surely help him develop his game beyond anything he'd get elsewhere. I'm sure Giz won't withold his advice until he officially takes over in 2020.

If George goes, it will surely leave him thinking "what if..?" for a long time ahead.
